4.

 

Turn the levelling screws as required to bring the bubble of the bubble 

level within the ring.  

 

 

5.

 

Tighten the mounting screws to secure the assembly in its final position. 

Check that the pyranometer is still correctly levelled and adjust as 

necessary. 

6.

 

Attach the white plastic sun shield to the pyranometer. 

 

 

7.  Route the sensor cable along the underside of the crossarm to the 

tripod/tower, and to the instrument enclosure.  

8.  Secure the cable to the crossarm and mast using cable ties. 

7.3  Wiring to the Data Logger
